Figure 1.

Patient prevalence level of MRSA as function of the efficacy of patient decolonization
or isolation after 3 months, 1 year and 5 years. 88% of the patients are screened upon hospital admission. Carriers are either decolonized
(red lines) or isolated (blue lines). The left figure corresponds to a high endemicity
level, the right figure to a medium endemicity level.
